In March last year, up to one million litres of raw sewage flowed into the grounds of the Hyatt Regency Resort at Coolum and nearby Pacific Paradise, where it ended up in a stormwater drain. The Maroochydore District Court heard that 49-year-old Vitek Boden was a "disgruntled" former employee of the company that installed a computerised sewerage system for Maroochy Shire Council. He applied for a job with the council but was rejected and later hacked into the council's sewage control computers, using radio transmissions to alter pump station operations. The court was told on April 23 last year, police pulled Boden over in his car less than one hour after one of the sabotage attempts on the system. They found a variety of electronic equipment, including a two-way radio and a computer with programs for hacking into the council's sewerage pumping stations. A copy of the hard disk on Boden's laptop showed that it had been used at the same times as pump malfunctions. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) investigations manager Janelle Bryant today welcomed the court's decision, saying that damaging the environment was a criminal act and would be prosecuted accordingly. "Vitek Boden's actions were premeditated and systematic, causing significant harm to an area enjoyed by young families and other members of the public," Ms Bryant said. "Marine life died, the creek water turned black and the stench was unbearable for residents," she said. Boden, of Springwood in Brisbane, was sentenced to two years jail after being found guilty on 46 counts of computer hacking and two counts of stealing. He was also sentenced to 12 months jail to be served concurrently for wilfully causing serious environmental harm. ------------------------ Yahoo!
